Montale 2019 EDP
Bengal Oud
Montale Bengal Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. Bengal Oud opens with Bergamot and Bitter Orange, settles into a heart of Leather, Patchouli, Rose, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Montale's Bengal Oud carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.
Don't let the name fool you - this isn't an oud bomb, despite what Montale wants you to believe. Bengal Oud is a divisive beast, a leather-forward scent that smells great if you know what to expect, and disappointing if you were sold on the 'oud' marketing.What our verdicts mean →

Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.
Best Occasions
Its moderate projection and good longevity make it suitable for various settings, though the strong leather might be a bit much for a formal office. It lends itself well to dates and more dressed-up casual wear, with many finding it sophisticated. It's too heavy and complex for sport.
